The Astra VXR should be nice when it comes out then.

Punto Lover
is this the 197 bhp version? They are quick but everything else about it shouts repmobile or hire car! Not something i'd put my own money into.

GSi Fun
They look very smarth but the new turbocharged engine producing something silly like 190 bhp makes it torque steer like a Vauxhall Nova Valver (2.0l 16v Red Top Engine)
Still should be uber fun!!!

I guess this is the newest shape Astra. They did them in a 170bhp and a 190bhp i think, u know which one it is?
I have a Astra G (the one before the current shape) and that is 2.0 T with 190bhp standard although i think the lowest 1 seen on a rolling road made 195 and most make over 200 and it does not give me any torque steer? Got plenty of it in my punto but that was fun.
Handerling standard was not to bad, nothing to write home about but just with a set of Eiback springs made alot of difference.
One of the things i find best about the car is the breaks. 306mm Discs. At 140mph (private track) they still would put u through the window screen.

it was one of these:
apparently just under 200bhp, so guess it was the 190bhp version
